CMP PX780 Compound Barrier Union

CMP PX780 Compound Barrier Union is intended to be used with threaded or non-threaded entries to connect conduits to enclosures or to connect conduits to each other in explosive atmospheres. It ensures ingress protection ratings of up to IP68. The union has been independently tested to comply with Category B rating specified in IEC 62444. The union utilizes a two-part epoxy compound to seal the connection, making it suitable for use in hazardous areas.

Here's a summary of its capabilities:

  • Used to connect conduits to enclosures or conduits to each other.

1. Installation should only be performed by a competent person using the correct tools. Spanners should be used for tightening. Read all instructions before beginning installation.
2. The interface between a cable entry device and its associated enclosure / cable entry will require additional sealing to achieve ingress protection (IP) ratings higher than IP54. The minimum protection level is
IP54 for explosive gas atmospheres and IP6X for explosive dust atmospheres. Parallel threads (and tapered threads when using a non-threaded entry) require a CMP sealing washer or integral O-ring face seal
(where available) to maintain IP66, 67 and 68 (when applicable). It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the IP rating is maintained at the interface.
Note: When fitted to a threaded entry, all tapered threads will automatically provide an ingress protection rating of IP66.
3. A CMP earth tag should be used when it is necessary to provide an earth bond connection. CMP earth tags have been independently tested to comply with Category B rating specified in IEC 62444 (there are
no ratings stated in IEC 60079-0). Ratings are shown in the associated table. CMP earth tags slip over the cable gland or accessory entry thread from inside/outside the enclosure and must be secured with a
locknut (if fitted internally).
Only one union is to be used with any single cable entry on the associated equipment.
The following accessories are available from CMP Products, as optional extras, to assist with fixing, sealing and earthing :-
Locknut | Earth Tag | Serrated Washer | Entry Thread (I.P.) Sealing Washer

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR CMP CABLE GLAND TYPES PX780
UNION COMPONENTS - It is not necessary to dismantle the cable gland any further than illustrated below
1. Entry Item
2. Serrated Flamepath
3. Nut
4. Conduit Connector
5. Washer
6. Compound Tube
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION
2. Prepare the cable by removing the outer sheath from the cores so that they are exposed within
the Compound Tube when finally assembled.
1. 2. 3. 4.
NOTE: THERE IS NO NEED TO DISSASSEMBLE THE UNION
6. Bring the cores together again and pack more compound around them to a length and diameter sufficient to fill the
Compound Tube (6) (ensuring compound is packed between each of the cable cores) before ending in a taper.
5.
6.
3. Feed the cables/cores through the conduit connector (4), nut (3)
and washer (5), tighten the conduit connector onto the conduit.
4. Wearing the protective gloves supplied, mix all of the two-part
epoxy compound until it is pliable and an even colour is achieved
(Min. mixing temperature 10° / 50° F
8. Attach the Entry Item (1) by screwing it into place, making sure the compound is not disturbed, and loosely tighten the
Nut (3). Leave until the compound has cured.
1. Slacken and remove the nut (3) to disassemble the union.
5. Separate the cable cores and apply the compound to the crutch of the
cable for a distance of about 6mm and pack into place. If the cable has
individual or overall foil screens then these should be removed.
If a drain wire is present then it should be sleeved with
some heat shrink tubing which is pushed into the
compound before shrinking with the application of some
heat. If braid screens have been twisted together they
should be treated as a drain wire and sleeved.
PACK THIS END
TRIM EXCESS

9. When the compound has cured the Entry Item (1) should be removed from the assembly and fully tightened into the
apparatus. The Union can then be refitted to it and the Nut (3) fully tightened to complete the installation.
7. Pass the Compound Tube (6) over the conductors until the stepped end is fully located with the Washer (5). Pack more
compound into place until the Compound Tube is fully fitted and trim off any excess.
